A novel biotechnological process for the production of high quality flax fibers was developed.
The process uses the pectinolytic strain Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius PB94A
and green decorticated fiber as starting material. A 200 L-scale pilot plant for the production of flax fibers with the new process was built and operated successfully. The new biotechnological treatment eliminates the weather-associated risks of the traditional fiber production completely and produces fibers of consistently high quality.
